Today is another #myfavoritebloggers Collective blog hop! Some of my most favourite people have gotten together to show off their crafty awesomeness all based on one theme.
And this month’s theme is: Spring.
Bring it on, baby. We could use some Spring in our lives.
After my tutorial, head to the bottom of this post where you will find heaps of Spring inspiration to remind you of the season we’re all waiting for!
I’m a model, you know what I mean… and I do my little turn on the catwalk.
No. I don’t.
But I like cute little hair accessories. Especially when it’s a way to add a little pop of colour here and there.
This project is a simple and frugal one.
You need bobby pins, a glue gun, and some of these flower cabochons. I found them at Michaels in the beading/jewelry section.
It’s as easy as you think it is.
Put some hot glue on the beads, and then quickly stick the end of the bobby pins onto the glue.
Let them set, and voila! Sweet little bits of hair loveliness!
Slip them onto a little piece of cardstock to present as a gift, or tuck them up into your own hair (how about a loose bun at the nape of the neck?) to add a few sweet little flowers to your hairstyle.
Don’t ever underestimate the power of simplicity.
And because we’re all hankering for some Springtime love, check out the projects created by the #myfavoritebloggers collective!

It was getting awkward trying to take them myself.

Tara these bobby pins are gorgeous! What a quick project to put a bit of spring in your hair as you wait for spring to arrive!
Tara
Spring will come, I’m telling myself that…
Until then – flowers in my hair!
Melanie

Tara
Thank you so much, Melanie!

This is what I am doing this month. Any crafts that do not remind me of the 10 feet of snow on my lawn. Actually 11 if you count tonight’s snowfall. Very cute!
Tara
We got snow tonight. I loved it for about the first three hours.
Now I’m done.
11 feet? Oh no… I couldn’t do that.
Nancy

Crystal @ Sew Creative
So pretty! I love how dainty the flower looks in your hair. I think I’m going to have to make some of these. Pinning. 🙂
Tara
Thank you, Crystal! They’re so easy to make! I have a little stash of them now!

I have to say, these look a lot easier to make than trying to deal with polymer clay and molds to create my own flowers. Super cute – the flowers and the model 🙂
Tara
Awww… thanks, lady. I’ve actually always wanted to try those molds to make my own rosettes/cabochons. Have you done it? Is it difficult?
ChiWei
I’m not very good at making cabochons because I keep getting air bubbles trapped inside the mold, so then the flower looks like a piece broke up – it never looks complete. And after waiting hours for the thing to dry and pop out, to see it look like poo is just really frustrating. Who’s got that kind of time to keep trying? sheesh. 🙂
Tara
I laughed out loud when you said “Looks like poo”. And yeah, that WOULD be frustrating!
Maybe I’ll wait a bit before I attempt those.
(Or just keep buying them!) 🙂
baby gifts
Think about not simply what you might possibly need, however the issues that cause them to become smile, happy memories they’ve related to you regarding
their past, and current things they talk about that puts that extra spring inside their step.
